  2. Project Summary • 1783: GENI Experiments for Traffic Capture Capabilities and Security Requirement Analysis • Goal: • help define GENI security requirements based on investigations through ProtoGENI experiments • Approach: • Select functions of ProtoGENI control framework • Experiments on aggregates (EMULAB first) • Experiment design, run, identify/exploit/validate potential vulnerabilities • Deliver experiment design documents, experiment reports • Experiments are in three directions • Authentication, experiment run-time interaction, aggregate components and management August 27, 2010

  3. Milestone & QSR Status August 27, 2010

  4. Accomplishments 1: Advancing GENI Spiral 2 Goals • We identified three major directions in ProtoGENI functions for experiments. They are authentication, experiment run-time interaction, aggregate components and management. • Findings and suggestions are summarized in the table. August 27, 2010

  5. Accomplishments 2:Other Project Accomplishments • Findings and suggestions continue: • In all, the real attacking experiments may help GENI developers to design and develop more secure systems; August 27, 2010

  6. Issues • We have tried to install ProtoGENI reference CM. Due to the need for static IP and host name DNS entry in the installation procedure, the system administrator expressed great concern (reluctant) on whether the CM code is safe or not. • Concerns on what some attack experiments may interference other experiments. • Since ProtoGENI is still an ongoing project, system bugs happen from time to time which has a severe impact on our progress as most of our efforts are based on the experiments. Because of this, some findings at last turn out to be system flaws. Other times the changes of the system will affect our project plans, we will have to change our plan and experiments design according to the new functions or changes. • There are OS images and pc type which reported to be pretty old and perform inconsistent. An update on these obsolete or inconsistent resources may help in saving time and confusion, especially for novice learners. • More details about PC type and all resources at Emulab and their specific utilization, if any, can help novice experimenters to select and to utilize resources accordingly. August 27, 2010

  7. Plans • Plans for the remainder of Spiral 2? • Perform the work described in Milestone #4 • Deliver the design document • The GPO is starting to formulate goals for Spiral 3. What are your thoughts regarding potential Spiral 3 work? • Perform the experiments according to the design document of S2.d -- investigate the vulnerability of wireless aggregate. • Investigate issues across multiple aggregates • Following the Spiral II ProtoGENI development results in experiments, possible repeating and extending.
